Summary

I am a passionate Wildlife Conservation student with real-world field experience, from remote Coral Bay to tropical Indonesia. My interests lie in biodiversity protection, and I'm eager to deepen my skills in data-driven research. I’m approachable and enthusiastic, often recognised as a proactive, fast learner who brings initiative and a collaborative mindset to every project. I get along well with both humans and animals alike, and I am currently seeking opportunities to contribute meaningfully to conservation efforts while continuing to grow under the guidance of experienced mentors.
